A research fellow at NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), Mr Blond announced the creation of ResPublica in August. The think tank will work on a variety of cutting edge public policy research projects.
Paul Rouke, User Experience Director at Manchester digital usability agency PRWD, said they were delighted to have been asked to develop the website for ResPublica.
He continued: “We will be developing the website from the ground up, working closely with ResPublica to deliver a site that will offer visitors an opportunity to fully interact with the ResPublica team and community via social media features such as Twitter, blogging and wikis, as well as keeping up to date with publications, news, events and opinions.
“Not only will we be developing the site ready for it to be launched, we will be working with Phillip and his team over the next twelve months to continually develop and improve the website, as part of our continual on-site improvement services.”
According to Mr Rouke, phase one of the ResPublica website, www.respublica.org.uk, will be live in November.
Commenting on PRWD’s appointment, Mr Blond stated: “We are really looking forward to working with PRWD to develop one of the best and most interactive public policy websites in the field.”
